Reversible Cable Knitting Patterns

Reversible patterns allow you freedom from worry about how your fold your blanket, tie your scarf, or wrap your shawl, because they will look great from either side. Cable patterns are particularly difficult to fit into reversible design and these projects incorporate cables and reversibility beautifully. These patterns interpret “reversible” in different ways: in some the wrong side looks exactly like the right side, in others the wrong side has a complementary interesting design, or in other desings the wrong side is a mirror image of the right side.
